Well it has been a wet start to week 3 and we have taken advantage and got allot of fairways sliced, our fairway unit is out of action for a few days and is being fixed today so we hope to get the fairways cut Wednesday and Thursday.

Last week was busy and below is just some of the extra done on top of normal maintenance -

The 1st bunkers are looking very good we still have to place turf on the walk ins, we hope to do that this week as long as we can get some turf... as the growers dont like to cut it when it is wet.

Well to next time .. keep swinging and if the weather stays like this.. keep your gumboots handy   pete

Week 52  and week 1

well into the new year already, and a few warm days to start with,

I hope everyone had a good christmass and new year, and on the course we have had allot of social players and visitors over the last 3 weeks or so. 

next week we will be starting on the bunkers on the 1st and the green side bunker on the 15th we will be doing these at the same time as we will need the material that we take from the first bunkers to use in the bunker on the 15th. so these hole will have temporary greens for some days over the next fortnight.
